    Yeah he will do letters with the dots, but gets bored of that after awhile. I have heaps of activity books for him with letters and dots etc. I think we might try find a words as well- he always loved the books where you find the pictures of something, so I thought we could step it up to find the word- I might even make my own with words he already recognises.
    He loves building things out of lego- that helps with gross motor skills I hope As far as recognising words and things like that I think he is fine- or even above level thanks to his Minecraft lol He can tell you exactly what everything is in the complete inventory- I mean EVERYTHING (there would be well over 500 things there- he can name them all!!) lol, what it does, what its for... he is a mastermind at that That's where I am trying to get him to do his own typing- there are different commands that you can type, and once you have typed it once you can chose which one to use again (ITMS) and once we type in the ones he uses he can then pick which one he wants without any help- he just remembers which one does what.

    Sounds just like DS1 last year. No interest at all in writing or reading.Very much into puzzles and lego. Loved anything with instructions to build. Started school this year and is doing fine this year. He reads and writes as well as any other kid in his class but his thing is maths. He is amazing at maths. I think it just makes a lot more sense for him.
